Interlude: Brenda

Brenda Brown, the daughter of the village chief, was a naughty kid: she was nine and she knew how to scare people. She loved to play hide and seek. Whenever she saw new faces in her house she'd always end up playing hide and seek with everyone. It had more to do with not wanting to meet people than to actually playing the game. In short, she wasn't good with people; or rather she didn't like people. And what could be more fun than jumping in front of people you don't like and scaring them to death?

There were many reasons why she didn't like them. Perhaps people were evil, perhaps they made her suffer? No, it wasn't like that. In fact, everyone always treated her nicely, too nicely. And because of that, she was always teased by the other kids and that's why she hated people, namely, the villagers. Yes, she didn't have an actual reason and perhaps she was just being a brat, but she did love the villagers equally as well. She was hypocritical, too hypocritical.
